OIL-CUP.

SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,876, dated August 19, 1884-.

Application filed March 10, 1884.

.To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, FERDINAND MALL eon'r and Cuantas Tuinron, of the city, county, and State ot' New York, have invented a new and Improved Oil-Cup, of which the Vfollowing is a full, clear, and exact descrip' tion.

Reference is to be had tothe accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both iigurcs.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of our new and improved oil-cup; and Fig. 2 is a plan view ot' the cup with its body in section on theline a: fc, Fig. l.

rIhe invention will lirst be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claims.

tei'erring to the drawings. A represents the main body ofthe oil-cup. This is titted upon the block l5, which is formed with the screwshauk b, by which the cup is attached in place i'or use; and the block B has the diagonal passage c formed through it, through which the oil passes from the body A to the bearing to be oiled. The upper end ci' the body A is formed with or has secured to it the partial cover C. This has the opening a formed through itat one side of its center, through which the valve or spindle D is operated; and the cover is formed also with the recess d, in which the spring e is placed, which spring serves to hold the cap E, which is hinged to the partial cover C on pin f, opened and closed.

The valvespindle D, which serves to regulate the iiow ot oil through the passage c and also'to entirely cut off the dow when neces sary, is screw-threaded, and held in line with the passage c in the screw-tap g, inade in the circular plate F, held upon the nprights h hf, that rise i'roln the upper surface ot' the block I3. rlhe upper end of the spindle D is ilattened to form the tluunbpiece i", for convenience in adjusting the spindle D; and to this thumb-piece i is secured the upper end of the sp1-in gj, the lower end of which bears against the edge oi" the circular plate F, so that the friction of the spring with the edge of the said plate will hold the spindle D from turn- (No model.)

ing of its own accord, which prevents all varying of the dow of oii after the spindle is once properly set to secure the desired feed oi' oil.

The cover E, when sluit down, entirely closes the opening u, so that no dust can enter the oil-cup; and this cover, being formed with the handle It, may be easily opened and closed, and lwhen opened, the thumb-piece 1I of the spindle D can be easily reached through the opening a for adjusting the spindle, thus making the cup very convenient, and the spindle, being provided with the friction` spring j, makes-the cup very reliable as to uniformity of feed.

3y making the passage c diagonal, and placing` the spindle D in line therewith, the upper end of the spindle is brought to one side ol" the cup A, so that plenty of room is afforded i'or the opening a in the partial cover C, and also for the attachment to the partial cover C of the hinged cover E without making the body A of the cup larger than the ordinary oilA cups oi' this class.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In an oil-cup, the body A, formed or provided with the partial cover C, formed with opening (i. and provided with the cap or cover E, substantially as described.

2. In an oil-cup, the elevated circular plate F, in combination with the spindle D and spring j, arranged to operate substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The partial cover G of the body A, having the opening a. formed at one side of the eenter thereof, in combination with the cover E and spindle D, substantially as described.

et. The oilcup herein shown and described, having the diagonal passage c, spindle D, set in line therewith, and the partial cover C, having hinged cover E, and opening a, made to one side of the center of the partial cover C, substantially as described.
